One-Eighty are just an awesome band... I bought this CD, thinking "ahh, they'll be something like the Dance Hall Crashers (who are excellent in their own degree)", but 180 has their own style and are a unique and talented band. Although I don't like too many ska bands with female vocals, Madelyn & Kim harmonize together so perfectly that you can't help but sing along. "405", "Sally" & "Just Like You" are some of my favorites, but every track on "Crackerjack" are spunky and worth the low price amazon.com offers. If you like upbeat and catchy tunes with a twist of awesome lyrics and original vocalists - get this CD!

first off i'd like to say that its pretty [bad] that they had to change their name becuz some other christian group sued them. how could you be so greedy to sue an awesome band with an awesome message like flight 180? (don't wanna get them in trouble by calling them one eighty). and secondly how can you compare them to the supertones? they sound nothing like the supertones. they have women vocalist for pete sake. the supertones are one of the greatest bands ever but comparing flight 180 and them is like comparing apples and oranges they sound nothing alike. if you need a comparison the band i think they most sound like is no doubt (before rock steady). they sound very similar to no doubt, especially with the ladies vocals. this cd is awesome. tick,tock, sally, and cool world are the best songs on this cd. also try their newest releases lineup and girls & boysthey are both pretty cool. enjoy this cd. ...

Here's even more proof that ska will never die; especially as far as Christian music is concerned. It's a great combo, though; happy, upbeat music with an uplifting message, and these guys done the kingdom proud. The swingin' debut from the Artists Formerly Known As One Eighty (now Flight 180) has a lot of great songs. Their ska/punk sound is addictingly ultra-cute (mostly 'cause of the two female lead singers), and the horns complement the crankin' guitars quite well. I've found myself humming a chorus or two now and then on the job and such. This musical journey covers all kinds of territory; subjects like road rage ("405"), growing old together ("When We First Dated"), mental misdirection ("Sally"), and the brevity of worldly pleasures make you want to think as well as sing along. They even do an out-of-nowhere cover of the Go-Go's "Vacation" that's red-hot. Flight 180's sound has matured quite nicely over the few years that they've been together; hopefully Amazon will carry this title again soon to give folks a chance to hear these guys' first effort. If you dig the ska/punk sound, this one's a keeper.

If you like Ska or Swing this Cd is for you! It's soo wonderful I love it. The Lyric's are really good for teens. It really made me think. They really Rock!

I MET THE WHOLE BAND AND TALKED TO THEM IN WILLMAR MINNESOTA AT THE SONSHINE MUSIC FESTIVAL. THEY ARE THE KINDEST PEOPLE I EVER MET AND THEIR MUSIC SAYS IT ALL. THEY HAVE GREAT MESSAGES IN THEIR MUSIC THAT MAKES YOU STOP AND THINK OF WHAT THEIR SAYING TO YOU. I REALLY ENJOY THEIR C.D AND THEY ARE THE BEST PEOPLE I EVER MET

I've listened to this CD too many times to count since I got it. It's definitely first-play list in my car CD player. If you like SKA music, you'll definitely like this energetic, upbeat CD.

I just got One Eighty for christmas and i think it is so awesome. They are definetly one of the best new SKA bands around. My 2 favorite songs are Vacation and Just Like You. They really stress they idea of prayer and the basic christian values. If you are into SKA i would definetly get this album.
